lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I did not want to draw your attention to this point before the vote, so I waited until after the vote. I note that more than 80% of our fellow MEPs evidently had a good reason for not participating in the vote this afternoon. So I ask myself whether I actually have a good reason for being here to vote at 6.30 pm this Thursday evening with so few Members present – about one hundred. I am starting to wonder whether this is indeed wise. Should we not join the vast majority of our colleagues who evidently had a good reason for not being here during the vote? In other words, Mr President, I would like to ask you whether you will discuss with the presidency of the Parliament whether there would be any possibility of either considerably increasing the number of Members present at 6.30 pm on a Thursday evening or finding another solution for this Thursday evening that does not entail a vote."@en1
